Sir. I got a tattoo done. The artist used new needle. I have seen. But I am not sure of the ink. He poured ink on a small bowl. He told me that I am his first customer for that day. Few questions 1.Sir.if I am his first customer. Then he made his last tattoo 10 hrs back. Supposed,when he was making the tattoo of his previous customer, he put the extra ink from the little bowl, which contains 1 or 2 drop blood of the previous customer.in the ink pot. And he used the same contaminated ink on me after 10 hrs. Can HIV survive in the ink pot for 10 hours? Can I get HIV like this.

From tattoing you do not get HIV but are at risk of other STDs. To better understand the risk and consequences of STDs please take private consult with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and explain you what is to be done.
